The 2013 revival of Killer Instinct on PC brings back the classic franchise’s focus on ‘combo breakers’ (mechanics to counter long combos) and fast-paced 2D fighting. For PC players who played the original Killer Instinct games, how does the 2013 version compare—did it capture the nostalgia of the 90s games while adding modern improvements (like better netcode or character balance)? What’s your favorite modern addition, and is there anything from the original games you wish was included? Additionally, combo breakers are a core part of Killer Instinct’s gameplay—how did you learn to master them, and do you think they make the game more strategic (by rewarding quick reactions) or more frustrating (when you can’t break an opponent’s combo)? Finally, the game has a free-to-play model with a rotating roster of characters—did the free-to-play structure make you more likely to try the game, and did you end up buying additional characters to expand your roster?
